Chapter 344: (1): Sage Arriving at Green Roving Residence
The old woman, the temple attendant of the Burial River's water god temple, was a trusted subordinate of the local governor. Apart from receiving a reference from the governor, she had also spent a lot of her own money to build relationships with officials from the Ministry of Rites in Mirage City. It was thanks to these things that she had landed this incredibly lucrative job. Many Qi refiners were extremely jealous of her.
The young noble scholar from Great Subduing Academy could kill her with a single wave of his hand.
Why had the Great Quan Empire flourished for the past few decades? Why was it showing signs of becoming the alliance leader in the central region of Parasol Leaf Continent?
Apart from the wisdom and power of the emperor and the remarkable talents of the scholarly officials and military generals, there was actually another reason that everyone was well aware of— a noble scholar was staying in Mirage City. Meanwhile, neighboring countries like Northern Jin Nation and Southern Qi Nation didn't even have a virtuous scholar.
Focusing back on the water god temple, the fact that Zhong Kui was such a young noble scholar was already an immense deterrence in and of itself.
There was a huge difference between someone in their thirties or forties working extremely hard to become a champion scholar and a young prodigy becoming a champion scholar in their first attempt.
Right now, the old woman and the old cultivator who had returned to shore were like little children waiting to be punished after they had done something wrong.
They were old immortals in the eyes of mortal people, but their relationship with Green Roving Residence was very ordinary. They were aware that the water goddess sincerely looked down on them from the bottom of her heart, and it was only because of the old woman's relationship with the governor and the imperial court that she turned a blind eye to them. The water goddess would leave them be as long as they didn't take things too far when trying to make money.
However, tonight was going to be a little more painful because the water goddess and the water god temple were no longer on their side and protecting them.
